Children in the park
On a recent visit to a neighbouring city I happened to visit the children's park space which is located within a gated community.
There were any children between the age group of 2-7 years playing.
Most of the children were accompanied by young nannies- school children ding part time duties! They had come armed with toys. But the children did not show nay interest in the toys. Rather they were so happy playing with the beach sand available in one corner. They were outdoing each other in making mud cakes.
As I watched them play I was able to detect various types of personalities:
1. The older sibling making mud cakes and sharing with the younger sister.
2. A chatty little one who was obsessed with cleaning the mud and getting the right consistency before making the mud cakes.
3. A boy who walked into their midst, very calmly destroyed all their cakes and began to make some for himself!
4. The chatty one continued with her work. But the older sibling watched for awhile. When the boy repeated his destructive action she warned him off. He was startled but heeded.
5. last but not the least there was this shy girl seated beneath the slider and solemnly watching everything. After 15 minutes she came towards the others and sat quietly. Slowly she also began to make her own cakes.
Each child was finally busy doing their own stuff.
